Blake Edward Hawksworth (born March 1, 1983 in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is a minor league pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization for the Memphis Redbirds. His older sister Erin is a television sportscaster in Dallas, Texas.

He grew up in Sammamish, Washington, and was drafted in the 28th round out of Eastlake High School in 2001 by the Cardinals. He played one year of baseball at Bellevue Community College before signing with the Cardinals as a draft and follow. After 2 superb seasons in the minors, he was named by Baseball America as the Cardinals top prospect in 2003. However, injuries have allowed him to pitch in only 9 games in 2004 and 2005. However, he got right back on track in 2006 as he went 11-4 and with an ERA under 3 between the Palm Beach Cardinals and the Springfield Cardinals. In 2007, he played for the Memphis Redbirds, the Cardinals Triple-A affiliate. He ended the season with a disappointing 4-13 record with an 5.28 ERA.
